WHITE & McINTOSII, Proprietors. VOLUME VIII. TAX AS FAITS FULLY PHOTO GRAPHED. IMPORTANT AND INTERESTING LETTER FROM AN INTELLIGENT OBSERVER AND ONE WHO NEITHER EXAG - GERATES NOR FALSELY COLORS. Albany, Ga., October 17, Messrs. Editors Albany News : Since my return from Texas, I find a general desire in Georgia and other Hast vrn States for informat ion relative to that prospective Empire State of the l nion. I find also that certain letters published in The News, the writers thereof having returned disappointed from Texas, have dissipated the bright visions that existed in the imaginations of many who con templated finding a home ot ease and plenty in that much over-rated and un der-rated land. TEXAS. Probably no other section of the world has been so fully advertised as Texas. Letters, circulars and pamphlets have been distributed in innumerable quanti ties by individual land-owners, land cor porations, land agents, railroad compa nies, immigration companies, town au thorities, Ac. Generally, and without much exaggeration, perhaps, these effu sions have presented in glowing colors the many real advantages of the State, forgetting to mention the disadvantages; or this neglect may be on account ot the fact that it would be a reflection on the intelligence of immigrants, to imagine that they would not, after one or two years’ residence, discover the disadvan tages without the assistance of a pam phlet. On the ohter hand, many have gone to Texas, apparently under the debt- mi that that [and was overlooked or spe cially exempted at the promulgation of the fiat,--“In the sweat of thy face halt thou eat bread.”—These have met with disappointment, and have increased their former delusion by supposing that Prov idence not only exempted Texas in the first place, but has ever since abandoned it. Such arc well qualified tothhik.speak and write of only the dark side of the picture. While disclaiming the least eh-be to induce emigration from Georgia. I pro pose to submit to your readers, as brief- j lv and impartially as possible, the r< -alt of my observations of the country while »n Texas ; and in doing this I■' 1 ; ably repeat some things you have ah- ndy published. THE CLIMATE Os Texas is not “the finest in the world,” according to my experience. The < x Irene b vary 100 deg. Fall. At one time last winter the mercury went down to 1 deg. above zero at Paris, Northern Tex as, and the following summer nai led 102 deg. above zero at Sherman. .- -me latitude. The nights are cool and pit ns ant throughout the summer. The breezes of summer arc very similar to the sea breezes of tie- Atlantic co.ed, and modify the summer beat . The “North ers” of winter and spring s.-ml tin cury down 30 or 40 deg. in about ,• ■ many minutes, and are sometimes very disagreeable. THE SEASONS Os Northern Texas are rather unrerl.i'n. This year a wet spell commented alien the 15th of May and lasted until tl: Bth of June, rendering the soil u.«. wet for cultivation while the crop mostly needed work. Then followed a drou-hth which lasted until the most of tie com v, past redemption. Many fields of com were abandoned to the grass and \\t <!-, and made only about half a crop say an average of fifteen bushels to the acre. I noticed one field that I thought would produce twenty-five bushels to tin acre, where the weeds were about as high as the corn, which had the appearance of i being plowed but once, and then v. ith on lv one furrow on each side of the row. Several farmers told me that they could have made a better crop if it had not rained a drop from the planting to the maturing of the corn. Some of the older citizens informed me that they usually have three or four years successively of good seasons, and then three or four years of unpropitious seasons. This was ; the second or third year (I have forgot ten which) of the latter. THE COTTON CROP Os Northern Texas is this year good, i From the best information J could ob tain the average crop generally is about three-fourths of a bale to the acre. I heard just before I left (12th Sept ) that some planters were offering to pickers I half of what they would pick. My im- j pressiou was that most of the cotton was ! too thick for the lower bolls to mature. The cotton caterpillar has never visited Northern Texas. I saw, during a trip of 50 miles, a few plants affected by the rust, in two fields. At the St. Louis Fair of last year Tex as took the premium for the best cotton exhibited. I was informed that some of the lands on Red River averaged a bale and a half to the acre. WHEAT Is raised to a considerable extent in Northern Texas, and the average pro duct is about twenty bushels to the acre. The old settlers say that the wheat crops aie not so good now as they were a few years ago, on account of the fact there is more rain now in the spring of the year than there was formerly. OATS Grow finely, and have to be sown very thick to prevent a too luxuriant growth and a consequent falling and *an cling of the rtalks. OF THE SOIL AND TIIIBEB I gave your readers adeser.ptioa last win ter. I will repeat, h-civer. tin t much * ' 'w' ern Texas, is a black vegetable mould | from six inches to ten feet deep, resting j the greater portion of the soil of North generally on a white limestone. V ;tU ] good seasons a great deal oi this soil | would produce sixty bushels of corn, or a i bale and a half of cotton to- the acre. ; Unimproved it is worth from two to ten I dollars per acre, according to its pruxi’u -1 ity to a market and tiuibi r. Nearly all the stream-, o v e horde ■•••I with timber- mostly Hun, inters!- •> i with Cotton Wood, Post, White no lb Oak. Hickory ami Hack berry, in places there is Red Cedar and i'c.s J’A. (Osage Orange.) The last is v y hard, strong anil durable. For post.-, .uni cn -s --ties it is worth nearly twin- as u.■. Rost Oak. In many places tin • - large, bodies of Pest Oak, and firm il .- most of the fence r ids are ma I’. In the j Eastern portion of the State there are i immense forests of excellent Pine tiia : her. Dressed white pine lumber from tno Northwestern States is delevered along . the railroads at from 830 to 835 per M. j i To my mind, the greatest objection to! Texas is the During a drought and its superabun !- j anee during a w.-t season. While the , wet season of last spring (mentioned ] above) lasted, sufficient water fell to !=■ ’ if properly di.-i' i-uted, tl.r.m. ..'.-’id ,1 growing season. The underlying Kin ■- stone seems to prevent the water soaking deep into the earth, and consequently | when it rains the smaller stream.-- beeonst ; for a few hours .impassable rivers, ' ! after a few weeks’ dr oughth are port’, or:;,' dry. Water <mi iu most p! ir. s I . tained by digglu Ij’om ten to lortv s -I, but as the stock lias often to be w .u tv during a dry si'asou, from the wells, t " sometimes lad to furnish a sulli< icncy of | water, the need has to be supplied by | hauling water, sometimes several miles. : Many a time does the emigrant. fi< i ; Georgia to Texas sigh and long f- c t cool spring mid clear ruujiin- b. -0..s his good old Mother state !

Paul on the. Panic. Th i excellent correspondent of the Tri ] bune, New York, writes thus, amusingly, I of t he panic : Looking back at it now, I don’t know i that F i have got • ut if I hadn't had to i get. Men addicted to the street are much like those who become habituated to loading late in bar-rooms they don’t go until they’re kicked out. My health j failed me ; the doctors prescribed quiet ; and rest; so I went to Saratoga. Well, ns 1 was saying, we all know this | storm was codling. But I have yet to ; ai-o the man who thought it w:-s coming i just yet or took in his lower sails, if he , did his topsails. When it came or show - ] tal itself near at hand would be time i enough to be dodging, they thought. | And my father once had a horse iu his ! stables, a tine, spirited creature, which 1 . was fond of fooling around. The old j gentleman warned me that he. might kick, i but J. didn’t thank him for that; of course ho might kick any horse might, for that : ! matter. But I hadn’t been round the I . stables, when supposed to be at school, I for nothing. I had noticed that when a j horse kicked he laid his ears back. So 1 i waltzed around “John the Baptist” that was tin'noble animals name, though : why so christened, unless because of his ability to kick a path through a wilder ; n -us, Ido not know just as usual, and j rcl.ed on a religious observation of his I ears so safety.
